Did metal music usurp the craziness out of rock?
I was watching the Oliver Stone Doors movie again recently, and it occured to me that rock artists aren't as crazy as they were back then. Then that thought was followed up by how often metal acts go that route but in more of a macho way. Not to offend their fans but the Twisted Sister/Kiss sort of take on wacky comes off to me as more clownish, while in Jim Morrison's hands it was more real, soulful, and threatening.
I think current day rock music misses that. Bono ain't gonna do anything that will get him barred from the White House, you know..

Yeah, metal is out there in the ozone but what about the music? I don't care about how anyone acts. I care about how they sound. When you close your eyes, does the music make you move? There are so many levels of crazy. Rock has had so many spin-offs and hybrids. Personally, I was always more into the melodious styling's of Pink Floyd or Steely Dan. Not to say that Morrison isn't great. Just saying I liked them better. I don't want to feel threatened by the music. I prefer to feel moved to other degrees of satisfaction. But hey, I don't watch horror movies either. I think it is weird that people pay to be scared. But I agree that today's rock music has some missing elements. Not sure that craziness is one of them but the rebellious nature of early Rock & Roll seems to have been replaced by conformity to current norms. In retrospect, the Rock bands of the past may have been conforming to their own current norm.

What the fuck. Was I edited before even published?
Or does it crap out if you do too long a post?

That totally sucks. I ain't typin' all that again. Nothin' doin'.
I said a lot of stuff too.
Well fuck this.
Here's a few recaps.
Music matters less now to the music industry than ever before.
It's about the money. It's always about the money.
Heavy Metal, come to think of it Hip Hop too to a large extent,
has become a parody of itself.
I parody myself all the time, it happens... but I know I'm doing it.
Oh and Scott you handsome bastard, I like "Incorrigible".
What else...
I typed for a fucking hour, it all went 'vanish'. Gone. Boy am I pissed.
Yeah, just general stuff, like Morrison was a courageous intelligent
and pretty interesting person, and he wasn't a threat to us,
he was a threat to mainstream (at that time) Status Quo...
And Miley Cyrus sells her 'music' with her twat,
as though vaginas had gone completely out of fashion last year.
And Nikki Minaj who sells Big Tits Champaign,
sounds like what it would sound like if a bubble gum machine
pulled out a glock and robbed you, possibly leaving you for dead.
I'm not impressed with most of this noise.
Folks, it's up to us, to show the world,
Real Rock N Roll.
I don't care, if we're still 'in fashion'
or if the industry acts like we're all fucking long dead and gone.
I work with a couple of dead guys, they don't let 'dead' stop them, that's for sure.
Yes, this is a mere shadow of the post I just wrote.
But I'm old and tired and no way am doing all that again.
Fuck That Noise.
God Bless, Much Love, ~Lesley

And I misspelled 'champagne'... shows you how often I have it.
And I don't know if Minaj's "Big Tits Champagne" is any good.
I just know that her music sounds like Alvin took Crack,
bought a gun, and is now attempting to rob me.
A quick recipe for dead chipmunk.
I'm not just gorgeously fuckable, I'm absolutely deadly. Never doubt either. ~L

Sorry your post got eaten by the internet grinch. I guess you timed out. More than likely a connection issue.
I'd advise you, if you ever get an epic post rolling, when it starts to hit home, copy it to wordpad or notepad so this doesn't happen again.
Thanks for the comment on Incorrigible. That was a big hit at mp3.com.
I can't stand even looking at Miley Cyrus myself. She makes acts like the Osmonds seem cool. heh

i love miley cyrus, btw - she is a product of her environment, and blossoming into a force despite her antics.

American Lesley Jane, Haaaaaaaaa I agee whole heartedly with you about Minaj! I have never liked her weird ass voice and she is such a well, you know? It rhymes with witch. Miley is just young dumb and starving for attention. But it funny to see that tiny little butt try to twerk. Haaaa! Someone needs to introduce her to Red Beans and Rice, Corn bread and peach cobbler. She looks like a hungry crack hoe.
I also often type long responses to posts. But I always highlight, right click and copy before I hit the submit button. The site does time you out after a prolonged stay. Too bad we missed your first post. I bet it was a goody.
So glad to see so many cool new people here on the pipeline. Also, great to see so many of the old members coming back. Keep posting folks! I love this shit!
Much Respect,
Stoneman

On the subject of Miley Cyrus - she's getting paid to attract attention and she's pretty good at it. I was never a fan, but she does have this foundation to help homeless teens and she's recorded some pretty good stuff for that - "Backyard Sessions". She's got a really credible version of Dolly Parton's Jolene and lots of others. I like this one

Also, honestly. She does have a pretty great voice.
Doen't make great music, but she could with the right material and the right producer.

Poor Justin don't get much love from indies. Man, they sure have spent a lot of money trying to re-build his image. I kind of feel sorry for him. He heh heh, well maybe not. But I hope he grows up and becomes something better than what he is.
Now, back to Miley. Okay, I concede that she does have a really good voice and I always have respect for versatility. Thanks for pointing that out. On the other hand. Shedding the little boy hair doo would probably go a long way towards improving her look. Also, some ham hocks and collard greens might help to improve that anemic looking body she has. I know, I know, a lot of people like that skinny look. More power to ya. But I prefer a woman that has cushion and curves. Voluptuous best describes it. I think she does all those antics because she secretly wants some fried chicken and mashed potatoes. As much as I despise Minaj's voice, I can't deny that her body is quite compelling to see. I saw her with her mom on a show a few weeks ago and her mom was an older slightly bigger version of her. Va va voom! I know they have been getting plenty ribs, sausage and corn on the cobb. Oh, damn, I done made myself hungry now. Oh wifey? I'll get back to this later.... swoosh!

Goodness. Well thank you for the love, Folks. That's a definite register that some of you would have liked to hear my long rant post... but you did get most of the high points, and heard actually less shameless flirting with the Time guy. Tick Tock.
Miley actually does have a voice.
Beiber was almost palatable when he was younger, but now
he's apparently turned into a Calvin Klein Ad Douchebag.
I'm still recovering from Marky Mark in his friggin' underwear.
I can never unsee that. And he wants to be officially exonerated
for beating the bloody snot out of a Vietnamese guy.
Listen Mark, I liked Ted, liked you in a few movies, but don't push it.
Miley at least is a matter of, yes that awful haircut,
you're a pansexual? Which means what, you fuck in a frying pan?
So you burnt all your hair off, okay now I understand.
Scott, I see you have a new song out...
Your first one all Summer?
Way to make me have to listen to it, Big Guy.
I have a couple I'm putting out, I'll do that from time to time.
No seriously, Folks, I suspect Miley Cyrus and Justin Beiber
are in fact, one in the same.
I don't know, I've never seen them at the same place at the same time.
They could be. Don't rule it out. Be Like Me. I'm A Scientist.
Nikki Minaj, well I don't know how she does it,
because I think in her case, she really sounds like that.
Like Alvin on Crack. Usually you gotta speed up your voice like mad fast
to get that sound. It's how Madonna had such hits as "Material Girl"...
That shit, is so sped up, it's like Alvin in a Teddy.
It's wrong, on so many levels.
She makes herself sound 12 if a day.
And we wonder what's wrong with society.
Well Minaj, at least she has the Big Tits Champagne going or
whatever other crap she's selling. What happened to being a musician?
Everybody wants to sell their brand of shite now.
50 Cent, aka "fitty" for people who either cannot or choose not to pronounce
the word 'fifty', has his own brand of Vodka. Know what it's called?
Effin' Vodka.
No, seriously. That is what the shit's called.
I give him points for a nice pair of "Fuck You" Balls.
It's fuckin' vodka, fuck you. LOL
Minaj though, I wonder what she'll sound like in a year, two, three...
will is still sound so sped up like that? It'll get funny once she gets old.
Here comes that old bitch, sing like a chipmunk.
Me, I'm an old bitch, I sing like I sing,
I'm about to put a new record out, me, and the band, both...
Listen if you dare.
You can never unhear that shit though, so listener beware.
I may get into your brain and eat stray thoughts.
Num Num Num....
No, I'm not a fucking zombie.....
that's the other guys in the band.
"We're not Zombies!"
Oh right. They were "Tell Her No" and "She's Not There".
On the other hand, I'm always there.
Blessing? Curse?
Who fuckin' knows. I don't.
I just work here.
Tick Tock, Daddy.
Love and Kisses from the Girl who Never Misses,
~L
